The Library General Description

Christ’s College Taipei is a Christian Liberal Arts College. The library was established in 1965, originally located on the third floor of the Administration Building. In 1987, the library moved to the ground floor of the James R. Graham Building. Throughout the years, the library has become an important resource and service center for the students and teachers on campus. The purpose of the library is to provide books and information needed for teaching and research. Therefore, the library takes care of readers’ needs, provides high-quality collections of books and information, and cooperates with the school to supply suitable resources to match the curriculum.

 

Introduction to the Library Collections

The collection of books and information in the library supports the development of the school and curriculum, various teaching units, and research. Therefore, any English or Chinese books that are related to English Literature, Christianity, Social Sciences and other majors (English, Mass Communication, Music) are the main collection scope. Other books that belong to relevant subject areas are the secondary collection scope. Since the school is a Christian Liberal Arts College that emphasizes Holistic Education and Christianity, related books and materials are the main collection scope of the library. The data collected is divided into books, periodicals, audiovisual materials, e-books, electronic periodicals, and electronic resources, and various types of data that are systematically organized by the US Congress Classification.
